The procurement titled "DPS for Voluntary, Charitable and Social Enterprises (VCSE's) for ad hoc and lower value Goods, Services and Works" is being conducted by Orbit Group Limited, based in Coventry, United Kingdom. This tender is currently in the planning stage with a procurement method identified as 'selective' under a restricted procedure. The contract period is set to commence on 1st May 2021 and extend until 30th April 2031. The tender period concludes on 12th April 2021, and the estimated value of this initiative is £500,000, covering a variety of services aimed at facilitating VCSE participation in public sector contracts.

Notice Information

Notice Title

DPS for Voluntary, Charitable and Social Enterprises (VCSE's) for ad hoc and lower value Goods, Services and Works

Notice Description

This Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) is intended to be a platform to lower the barriers of entry and encourage VCSE's (Voluntary, Charitable and Social Enterprises) and similar organisations such as Sheltered Workshops (organisations employing disadvantaged workers) to tender for smaller and lower value goods, services and works in and outside of the wider public sector, where specific requirements and non-core work is required. There are real challenges in enabling social value to be applied effectively primarily because organisations have conflicting pressures on delivery, risk, scale and cost management which vary. Orbit is passionate about building communities and investing in our communities. It is hoped that the growth of social suppliers is increased by working with Orbit and similar organisations across the housing and wider public and other sectors. There is an increasing desire to buy from VCSE's and this desire is being driven by organisational ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) approaches, a generational shift in expectations along with the direction of travel of government led initiatives such as PPN's 0620 and 1120, the industrial and civil society strategies and the Social Value Act. Suppliers will need to click on the link to view this opportunity on Procontract and 'register interest' to view and download the documents and complete application. The anticipated go-live date for this DPS is 1st May. This DPS will be open for use for the wider Public and other sectors who want to increase their commitment to Social Value.
